Just the sounds he makes when falling? While I admit to having a certain perverse fondness for Link's "badly hurt" gasps, I find all of his growls and yelps distressingly delicious.

Me too... Also I purposely made him sneeze. Because I thought it was adorable...Which was more innocent than making him jump off the waterfall in Zora's Domain just because I knew it probably hurt...Damn I'm messed up.

I think my obsession STARTED with Majora's Mask, even when she was 13. She'd find every imaginable way to get little Link injured and flung across a room just to hear him scream. I, too, would make him sneeze at Snowfall, even with the running clock. And don't even get me started on his "badly hurt" gasps there! ...Did I mention I hated slash when I was 13?

I love the sound Twilight Princess Link makes when he picks stuff up and throws it. It almost makes up for that total gyp of a shirtless cutscene.

Speaking of Majora's Mask, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Link's reaction to donning any of the form-changing masks (Deku, Goron, or Zora). That agonized scream never stops being horrifying, but at the same time... damn, it gives this troper the shivers.

I admit to purposefully killing Link just for the sounds and, in Twilight Princess, with its pretty graphics, the images. I swear I'm not violent, there's just something about drowning such a cute character...

Fun fact: kid Link shares a voice actor with every horndog's favorite Ms Fanservice - Taki from Soul Calibur. Make of that what you will.

I always LOVED hearing Young Link yawning in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He sounds like a baby Yoshi! AWWW!

This troper finds Wind Waker Link's voice extremely cute and would often draw the sword and slash air, just to hear him shout his battle cries.

I admit I get a little turned on whenever I hear Link's tired gasps and grunts in Skyward Sword. My god, they sound so suggestuve. >_>

Actually, while we're on the subject, Link gets a LOT of female attention in Ocarina of Time, and that in itself can be fetishised. For those that like non-humans, there's Ruto at both ages. Childhood friend? Saria. Into the firey sort? Malon's a first step, but then there's Nabooru (who's been mentioned), and it's KNOWN (game dialogue tells you this) that the Gerudo tend to go after men from outside, as they have none of their own. And you're forced to assault the place and can get captured more than once...so yeah.

Also, Link gets some attention from the Poe Collector, a male character in the adult timeline of Ocarina of Time. As soon as Link first meets the Poe Collector he tells Link the following:

"Oh...you are quite an energetic young man. You're brave and handsome, too. Heh heh heh... your name is Link, isn't it. Heh heh heh...don't be surprised. I can read people's minds. If I looked as good as you, I could run a different kind of business...heh heh heh...

This troper found Ruto horribly annoying when she was a kid. Later on? I was drooling. Underwater. Made even cooler by the redesigns the Zora went through for Twilight Princess, and certain pieces of fanart. I'll be in my bunk.

In Majora's Mask, this tropers' friend pointed out that the All Night Mask was a BONDAGE mask.

And then there is the face full of boobage that 10-year-old Link gets from a particular Ranch girl for saving their milk... delivery.

13, if you measure it by Toon Link's trophy data. If you think about it, that means all the warm fuzzies in that scene are probably the hormones talking.

Everybody is forgetting that the french and lactation fetishist as well as a few hybrid bondage fetishist say that lon lon special milk is breast milk.

Kafei. Think about it.

Due to their ability to swallow Link whole a few times in a row, moldworms and Like Likes in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap have attracted the attention of voreaphiles.

What about the fact that Link turns into a very, very tiny person? Colossus climb on attractive women comes to mind immediately, as well as things that may go under someone's Nightmare Fuel list instead.

There actually is a scene in the manga adaption of The Minish Cap where miniature Link tries to get a decent look up Anju's skirt (he almost gets crushed under her shoes for it, though).

Speaking of vore, Ocarina of Time also has Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly, where young Link is required to traipse about the innards of a giant whale-like creature, complete with squishy sound effects and pulsating walls.

This Troper is currently playing through Twilight Princess, and he never misses an opportunity to speak with Midna, just to hear her babbling in whatever language that is. I don't really know why her voice has such an effect on me, but... it's kinda captivating. Yes, in that sense.

For me, it would be her black and white skin in odd designs, mixed with the glowing rune-type design things.

I am shocked that Link's shirtless scene in this game has not been mentioned. Shirtless Link fighting a gregoroman/sumo like thing?

Because the overweight geriatric man he fights while shirtless kinda kills the mood rather quickly for most, that's why.

He's more of an example of Stout Strength. Even without that detail, his presence increases the fetish fuel for some people.

Do not discount the fetish fuel that Mayor Bo provided for chubby chasers during that wresting scene.

Also the fact that Link looks borderline prepubescent in that game. I was very disappointed. Now, if they'd taken the concept art for Ocarina of Time Link, with the beautiful graphics of Twilight Princess and made him shirtless, then THAT would be some serious fetish fuel.

What about when Link has to have a Sumo battle with the Goron. Mmmmmm Goron nipples.

While going a bit outside the bounds of the "official" Zeldaverse here, Link's Soul Calibur II incarnation has a very... interesting grapple move where he leaps on his opponent's back, rides them like a horse, and spanks them. Ye gods.

Not to mention that Morpha is a giant amoeba/water monster, which has all kinds of vore/engulfment/breathplay implications.

Speaking of tentacles, remember Bellum? Remember how Bellum just wrapped his around Linebeck in that cutscene, the camera showing it from every possible angle in the most graphic way an E rated game could give? And Linebeck struggling to break free? As if Linebeck didn't already have enough fangirls.

Speaking of bosses, I had a thing for Twinrova's combined form, especially knowing that they're capable of mind control.

In Majora's Mask, there are twin sisters trying to come up with a new dance. Using a certain mask, you can teach them a new dance, which makes them very happy. In fact, they are so thankful that they fall to their knees and start calling you "Master". Certain thoughts come to mind...

You mean like, "Holy shit they angled the camera just right for a panty shot that's friggin' hillar- wait, why am I getting titillated here?

Four Swords Adventure provides so much clonecest material that the official manga even made Red Link full-on Camp Gay with Blue Link as his favorite target. And in a later chapter Purple Link becomes Shadow Link's willing servant.

Honestly the manga is a bit more subtle than that, but of course fangirls went wild over it.

In the german version of the game, she's called "Tante", which translates to "Aunt". Whose aunt? WHOSE?! LINK'S?! This troper can't decide if this is Fetish- or Nightmare Fuel.

Neither. In some cultures, "Aunt" is a friendly way of addressing an unrelated older woman.

Although I am not really into bird-people, certainly someone must be, and that someone must have been very pleased to see shy Rito girl Medli following Link around submissively, carrying him around with her feet and asking to be picked up and carried.

She's submissive to mind control and is often captured as well. Derive from that what you will. Oh, and the things that like to kidnap her? Arms named Floormasters.

Don't forget the adorable dazed expression on her face when she crashes into a wall. I may have spent rather too long launching her just too low to reach the opposite ledge.

I am positive that Twilight Princess's incarnation of the all male Gorons was born from someone's "fixation" with them. Not only are they more muscular and "manly" looking than their previous depictions, but they love Sumo (which requires a good deal of up close physical contact), are a bit eager to allow Link to climb on top of them, and actually wear thongs, suggesting that they are not lacking a certain feature. This in turn suggests that they do not reproduce asexually. Perhaps I am thinking about it too hard...

You probably are. Nintendo probably got lazy and just used the same model for every Goron, save for the Goron Elders and Darbus of course. If not, I detect Author Appeal.

I'm shocked that of ALL the examples from Majora's Mask not ONCE has the possibility of Mask Fetishism has been explored. Think about it, most of the mythology and culture in Termina is based around Masks. Some of the said masks carry their own power.

The wedding ritual of Kafei and Anju. If you look at the mannequin of Anju's wedding dress at SOME point she's supposed to be wearing that mask (I would assume in lieu of a wedding veil). If that were MY wedding, I'd keep it around for a bit. * kinky*

More of Power Perversion Potential than a fetish, but you can get away with a LOT of dirty things with that there Stone Mask I gather.

Anyone into transformation fetishes would LOVE to have something like the Deku, Goron or Zora masks. Not the masks themselves mind you, masks that COMPLETELY transform the person and fuse with their physical traits.

Keeping the above example in mind. Imagine if Majora fuseds with a wearer like Link's Masks. Now picture Majora fusing with a person while conscious, maintaining most of their physical traits, but controlling said person against their will. Now what if I told you that person was Princess Zelda? Turned on yet? Click here if the answer is 'yes'◊

Just the fact that the OoT, MM, and the SSBM Young Link doesn't wear pants is somewhat of a turn-on for me. I also want to have a peek at Young Link's bare feet. They're probably super-smooth, sexy, squishy, ticklish, and in need of a massage. His toes are probably delicious too. I would play with YL's super-sexy feet for hours on end if I could.

Watching Young Link and Toon Link play their Ocarina/Baton respectively makes this troper (female) feel all weird and warm for some reason and gives her the uncontrolable urge to shout "CUUUUUUUUUUTE!".

I am just certain that the Wind Waker was a freudian slip. I mean, just look at it!◊ It has testicles and everything! That little boy spends half the game waving a dismembered penis he got from The Obi Wan around in the air.

Never mind the fact that the Command Melody plays perfectly into every mind-control fetish out there. I actually developed one because of the dungeon with Medli in it. The verdict is out on whether this merits Nintendo a "CURSE YOU!!" or "THANK YOU!!"

I personally prefer to think of the Command Melody as a form of possesion. This brings out a wholenewset of fetishes when it comes to Medli.

I sometimes wish I could play one of the later Zelda games without fantasizing about whichever fairy is helping Link flying underneath his clothes (and into his boots) and tickling him. ...But only sometimes.

How about all the Interspecies Romance, among other things, in the Oracle games? Queen Ambi/Pirate Captain (cue "boner" jokes)? Female Maku Tree/Link? Link/Rosa (stalker subquest included for those who liked Twilight)?

Veran in general for mind-control/possession fetishists.

Speaking of mind-control/possession, am I the only one who thought of doing dirty things with the Hyoi Pear?

Din getting trapped in a crystal in Oracle of Seasons probably did it for those into People Jars.

I would imagine the seven maidens from A Link to the Past did it for them quite nicely as well.

Mystical Seeds. Power Perversion Potential. Go nuts. Pegasus Seeds for speed/slow effects, Scent Seeds to "entice" a potentially-unwilling partner, Ember and Mystery Seeds for temperature-play, Gale Seeds for when you just can't miss a booty call...

Female Zoras, from Ocarina of Time onwards. Smooth, blue-skinned, dynamic, constantly-in-water humanoids who are always found in the more elegant locations... surely there is a trope for this?

The Male Zoras aren't too bad, either...

Crazy Tracy in Link's Awakening, who gleefully offers to help rub her "little secret" (potion) on a little boy's body, calling him "big guy" the whole time. Doesn't help that she's got one of the sexiest sprites in Link's Awakening, with her wild hair and long bare legs...

There is actually a picture of the healing variation out there. Rule34 has us covered with a piece of fanwork that got named "Refill your life, mister?" Panty Shot happens in said picture, so it doesn't take much to translate her text box...

Same troper would also like to point out that Link pulls off Rule 63 way too well.

I find it... intriguing how so many of these games involve giant, one-eyed monsters trying to attack ten-year-old boys who walk around with no pants on...

I still had a field day after understanding how most of the gameplay was going to go in Twilight princess and instantly cracked up because here a girl was doing the one thing rabid fangirls could only dream about Riding Link.

Spirit Tracks: Zelda is a ghost. Whoever has a Ghost-fetish, or a Possession-fetish is free to Squee now. I, for example.

When you arrive at Papuchia Village for the first time, Zelda states that she used to spend her summers there. Then she asks if you would like to go swimming with her once your adventure is over..

This gay troper is madly, insanely, avariciously, stupidly in love with Shad. He hits all of my tics in one delicious package (nerdy, pale, thin, long neck, glasses, enthusiasm for trivialities, beautiful floppy hair...). I need a shower.

Especially if you go to visit her immediately after leaving Kakariko. Having the lights go dark and hearing that "Ohh..." (which is actually just her sighing in relief that Colin's okay) is just...damn, Nintendo.

Termina has a duplicate of nearly every person from Hyrule. Many of these people are already listed above. It's possible to travel between Hyrule and Termina. Need I continue? (It's unfortunate that the two closest analogues to Link are Kafei and an eight foot tall demigod with white hair, since that would break up the panorama of clonecest from the Four Sword and Shadow Mirror. Then again, maybe not.)

Not only that, we've got TWO copies of Malon, one older, one younger, and they're sisters. I'd love to get in with them.

The Rosa Sisters in Majora's Mask, while they are dancing at night. It's the leg-baring leotards that get to me.

I thought they were just really, really, really short dresses.

You're probably right about that. Speaking of which, I wish I owned one of them. (The leotard-dresses, not the Rosa sisters.)

The Poe Collector in Ocarina of Time. I know he's technically supposed to be unattractive, but he's so freaky that he's almost sexy. I used to have daydreams about working for him.

Call this troper insane, but the Great Fairies from Ocarina of Time, Majora´s Mask and Twilight Princess woke up come "warm and fuzzy" feelings. Young, wild (on Ocarina and Majora), beautiful and Stripperifficaly dressed.

Here's a fun game: look at any screenshot of Ganondorf's face from Twilight Princess and imagine it with the caption, "Ganondorf is going to rape you." Sometimes the results are scary, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes... delicious.

In the CDI games, Zelda is a cute, slim teenager who wears sleeveless shirts with an exposed midriff, and there are a few scenes with her in bed, most notably this one, in which she is sitting up in bed and wearing a short skirt, nicely exposing her legs and bare feet.

Majora's Wrath, which is Majora's Mask final form, has two tentacle/whip things for hands. With that one can easily appeal to tentacle enthusiasts and spanking fetishists.

He doesn't have whip-hands. He can have whip-hands. As in, if he wants to. Much better.

In Majora's Mask when Link finishes delivering milk to Clocktown with Cremia, the latter takes his head and literally shoves him into her breasts. Too many squicky things entered my mind. Milk? Cremia (creamy)? Link getting a face-full of breasts?

DAMN you! Now I have an image of that scene...but with Cremia naked! * Goes to gouge out eyes*

A Very similar scenario occurs in Twilight Princess, except Link is on his own horse, the milk has been replaced with Ilia and Prince Ralis, and the perpetrator of the above Marshmallow Hell has been replaced with... ...Good God. ...sadly, all Telma does is lean toward him a little. But Nintendooooo!!! I want to get smothered by THOSE!

Hilariously, if you watch closely, you can see that Link's eyes dart to Telma's cleavage for a moment after she leans in. Kinda makes you wonder if he's thinking about Marshmallow Hell, too.

I honestly don't care how dumb the cartoon was. Zelda was hottest in that series. She's an Action Girl that is willing to put on a slinky dress once in a while. Plus she gets hypnotized in one episode.

On-screen, Majora's Mask did it's best to make the transformations...tramuatizing but DANG IT! Envisioning the very cute Link transforming into the veerrryyy attractive Zora gets her everytime. Don't even get me started on Wolf Link...

Link is often a musician of sorts, with many instruments being featured throughout the years. Tell me that doesn't make one feel warm and fuzzy. Bonus for those of us who like werewolves: his melodic howling in Twilight Princess is, in a way, the first time Link's ever been heard singing.

Byrne, people. All of his yelping and grunting during the fights and cutscenes don't hurt.

God yes. Those muscles, that long hair, and the mysteriousness of that scarf on his face. And he's totally badass.

This troper has a bit of a submissive side, and the way Midna talks to you towards the beginning of the game makes this troper absolutely melt. "You have to do exacty as I say!" You bet I will. Also, Ashei is quite the cutie as well.

This troper is (mostly) unashamed to admit that Link was the first male she ever truly loved — playing Zelda Classic when it first debuted, when she was twelve — and has had it bad for him ever since. The sprites may not have been much back then, but the manual art was unequivocally adorable, and it's only gotten better since. Doesn't matter which Link, I'd take any of them. Having said that, shirtless Link in the TP sumo training scene makes me very, very happy...

Wait, so, you got the hots for Link because of a 2001 Windows clone of the first game? Explain please.

In Majora's Mask, when you take the swamp tour boat, it lets Link look around. Looking in the right angle will let you see under Link's skirt. Sure, you can't actually see a thing, but with enough imagination...

Spirit Tracks Zelda. Ignoring the slight overuse of eyeshadow, every time I see her make me just want to hug/protect the poor girl. I wouldn't consider her Fetish Fuel, personally, but there is some slight Perverse Sexual Lust in play.

Do not be suprised, when you realise that you are fond of the sword in Skyward Sword.

Pretty much anything about Midna gives me a fuzzy feeling inside. Her hair, her eyes, her voice, her hips... I'll be in my bunk.

I don't know about anyone else but I find Ghirahim insanely hot. Probably because of his flamboyant demeanor... It's something different from a Zelda game.

Speaking of Ghirahim there's the Foe Yay he gets with Link when he gets close to him.

All the Ship Tease between Midna and Link. How about that one scene where she tenderly touches Link face and Link smiles?

What? Nobody said anything about Zant? The insane body contortionist who has the most amazing laugh and a cool helmet? Am I the only one?

Skward Sword 's Zelda. Just...Skyward Sword Zelda.

I can't believe that Groose (from Skyward Sword) wasn't mentionned yet... Tall, muscular, red-haired, golden eyes, a bit of a jerk but actually a good guy, and the Pompadour, of course! He even managed to outclass Ganondorf as my favorite LoZ character!

Ruto, just...Ruto. I've fantasized about her for the longest time and her fishy features make her even hotter.

Medli, despite her youthful appearence is outright stated to be Older Than She Looks based on how Rito age, and how she mentioned Komali is "an adult", and is at least in her teens so she counts, right? And she is very Moe. She was one of the first non-human crushes this troper had. Her beautiful red eyes make me just want to stop the game and gaze into them. Even Tingle is smitten by her if you use the Tingle Tuner in the original game. This troper would constantly go back to the Earth Temple just to see this cutie play her harp. This troper would also jokingly throw Medli at a wall and call Link an abusive boyfriend. And that permanent blush she has...

Not sure if this counts due to Hyrule Warriors basically being a reskin of Dynasty Warriors, but it gave us three characters that can count for this.

First, we're introduced to Lana, an upbeat, all-caring girl with her unrequited love for the hero giving her some bonus points in woobiness. She gives of a very magical girlish vibe, which isn't a bad thing on this wiki. Also, her "Guardian of Time" outfit deserves special mention as it shows off her impressive chest size.

Next, we have Linkle, a character introduced in Legends who thinks she's the legendary hero. She's a spunky, energetic girl with plenty of moments that are just plain adorable (she constantly doesn't know where Hyrule Castle is, even when she's fighting in Hyrule Field, for example).She's essentially a female Link in some people's eyes, so the Rule 63 fetishists are already having a field day.

Finally, there's Cia. Good gods, Cia. She's the main villain (of course not really) of the game, and quite the attractive one. Everything about her, from her revealing outfit, to her pretty face, to her highly detailed boobs and ass, to even her being as much of a woobie as her good half if not moreso, all of it counts in her favor. Legends gives her more woobie points by having her survive the events of the main story, and having her need to be saved by Lana and even Link.

Breath of the Wild seems to have hit so many new fetishes it either had to be by accident, or couldn't be.

The simple decision to put Zelda in pants seems to have drawn the fanbases' eyes to the... high definition.

While we're on the subject of wardrobe changes: Link. Gerudo outfit. Holy hell the fandom went crazy over that one.

Mipha easily gives Ruto a run for her money in the cute Fish-girl department.

Kess, a beefy Rito musician, seem to have captured the imaginations of both gay and straight fans.
